I know we just celebrated Halloween and Thanksgiving is 3 weeks away but I’m pretty excited about Christmas. Last year Jackson was only 4 months old and didn’t really know what was going on. This year I can’t wait to see him rip open his presents and play with his gifts. I’m a confessed slacker when it comes to Christmas shopping. I hate black friday, I blame working in retail and seeing people act like animals for a sweater, and once thats over it seems like Christmas is the next day. That’s when I find myself 2 days before the 25th freaking out because I haven’t bought anything for anyone and I don’t have time to make anyone anything. So this year I’m starting early. I already bought 2 things for Jackson, which, of course, one has already been given to him =/

Here are some things that are on my to buy/wish list: (more…)
